Since there are a number of suppliers available it would be wise to verify that your oxidizer vendor is providing ceramic media from a proven source that will allow the end user to purchase replacement media directly from the manufacturer if it ever becomes necessary.
Use of ceramic media used in rto.
To understand the importance of and use for ceramic media you must first understand how an rto works.
Effective ceramic media enable the rto to function correctly and a well functioning system supports continuing operations along with environmental compliance.
As well the ceramic media used in the regenerator makes the triton rto the most effective air pollution control equipment in the world.
The advantages of this type of media are 1 ease of installation and removal.
Ceramic media life expectancy.
Rto media optimize your regenerative thermal oxidizer s rto performance with saint gobain norpro s advanced heat transfer media.
Each rto system incorporates specialized ceramic media in the regenerator heat transfer bed to allow thermal rate efficiencies in excess of 95.
Between the cold face and the hot face is the ceramic heat exchanger column.
The triton ii series regenerative thermal oxidizers have a specialized polishing chamber which delivers more than 99 percent voc abatement.
What is ceramic media and what is it used for.
Thermal heat transfer ceramic media.
Saint gobain norpro has developed and manufactured more heat transfer media than any other company in the world.
The rto heat recovery media is the ceramic materials used to recover and exchange waste heat.
Today we would like to look at the different types of ceramic media used and explore how they affect rto operation.
The media support grid is referred to as the cold face because this area is exposed only to inlet and exhaust gas temperatures as compared to the hot face temperatures in the combustion chamber of the oxidizer.
Random packing was the first type of ceramic media used in rto applications and is still used today in certain applications.
The condition of a regenerative thermal oxidizer s rto ceramic media is crucial to system performance.
Note that the most common form of random packing is the saddle see photo although there are several other shapes that are sometimes employed.
